Newark Airport Ranks Last For On-Time Arrivals
NEWARK, N.J. -- Travelers heading for Newark Liberty International Airport need to pack some patience.
For the second year in a row, Newark ranked last for on-time arrivals among the nation's 31 major airports in 2006.
It's third from the bottom for on-time departures.
Nearly 63 percent of arriving flights landed on time at Newark last year. Some 80 percent took off as scheduled.
Officials blame weather, congested airspace and too many flights during peak travel time.
